Happy Pride!

Now that it's the very end of Pride Month, I've had a chance to get all the photos together of a pride body painting I had the opportunity to do with my awesome friend and model.

Between me, Jes, and Wikipedia, we were able to be as inclusive as possible, and incorporate the LGBTQ, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, demisexual, lesbian, transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, intersex, and bigender flags. 

And, not least because this was all happening at a jam at the Northern NJ Face and Body Art guild with other painty friends, food, and drink, we had a blast doing it!

One of the guild members who's also a clown and balloon twister heard Jes wishing she had a unicorn horn and twisted her one too.  Because what's Pride without unicorns?

I got some great shots of her!

And then Jes went straight to a photographer friend of hers, Zander Images, and got some more shots done!

Please let me know what you think!  And if you're local to northern NJ and have any body paint ideas you'd like to try out, feel free to contact me and see if we can't jive our schedules!
